“2013, at least 37 people were killed by a blast at Pemex’s Mexico City headquarters, and 26 people died in a fire at a Pemex natural gas facility in northern Mexico in 2012.”

Quite the trail of explosions. Sounds like enemies?

It was a stage prop for a johnny cash in the harbor concert. Perfectly timed to go up as soon as the trumpets blaired out “ ring of fire”

Big fire? OK. Massive? Meh!

My frigate was anchored in Catania Bay, Sicily in 1979 when the refinery caught on fire. Now THAT was a fire.

USNS Mississinewa (T-AO-144) was taking on Navy Distillate and JP-5 at the refinery pier. We had the anchor at short stay in preparation to go in and drag the Mississinewa away when the handful of civilians still on board at the time managed to, literally, cut the mooring lines and back out into the harbor and drop anchor. I say 'drag' because tow would have been far too graceful for what we were getting ready to do to save the tanker.

We were roughly 2000 yards from shore and you could feel the radiated heat.
